Kim & Buran
Established in November 2004, Kim & Buran named the band after the heroes of the cult Soviet sci-fi cartoon "The Mystery of the Third Planet." Originally the band consisted of founding member and author of all compositions Slava Zavjalov along with Igor Tsvetkov on bass. In 2005 Roman Tolmachyov replaced Igor, and since then Kim & Buran perform live as a full band with Alexey Alyoshin on drums and Mikhail Shulgin on guitar, later replaced by Alexander Dmitriev. Project is produced by Oleg Tarasov of Messer Chups and Solnze Records.
Kim & Buran are inspired by retro electronic sounds related to Jean-Michel Jarre fused with nostalgia feel and space exploration romantics. The band uses old school Soviet analogue synthesizers and samples from various 60's USSR movies, producing a deep mix of space disco, downtempo and easy listening.
